POINTERS FROM PRICE.
Items From the Flourishing Emery
County Burg.

For two weeks a sandstone has nre.
vailed here almost necessarily. nio6t
and day, making things aerial yery dis
agreeable. No rhyme intended, as none
could make, would do Justice to the
detestable weather we are now having
A FEY days ago E, r, ClUte, of Salt
Lake, - has a contract to sunnIv
Fort 75hesne with fifteen carloads Of
corn, Started his freighting outfit ont of
Price, with the first loads of the
contract The roads are good most of
the distance.
PRICE has been termed "the little
Cheyenne of Utah" and sure enough
we have had life enough here for some
months to entitle the town to some
distinctive appellation A jail is about
to be built here which it is hoped will
have the effect to moderate the mani
feStations of certain kinds of life"
which have had so little regard for law
and order here during the past winter.
A LINE of carriers runs regularly
between Price aud Fort Du Chesne,
carrying the mali for the postfrGm the
postoffice here. No postOffice has yet
been established at the Fort
though the officers there, seconded
by those of this military depart
ment, have made repeated efforts
to have one established. Feeling
at the post seems TO be divided in re-
gard to the sentence OF the court
martial in Col. Benteen's case. Some
think it severe and others regard it as
just. 1t is probably according TO the
requirements of the law in view of the
evidence.
On March Both the new store of the
Emery County Mercantile Company, at
Price was opened. 1t was an important
and suspicious event In the CONNER
ciaI history of this section. This Insti-
tuition has brought here an immense
stock, embracing complete lines in each
department of a general merchandise
business, and has laid its plans to do a
jobbing trade with the stores of this sec
ton and to supply all demands of the
retail trade. The company's store is of
iron, is capanious and admirably fitted |
up. It's shelves presented a handsome
appearance, and crowds visited it on
the opening day. Hereto, lore Salt Lake |
Jobbing houses have mOnopoliZed the
rapidly growing trade of this section,
but this new general merchandise en-
porium will undoubtedly soon get the
hons share of it, as its peculiar |
AoSiAeiOo AO1 OOJ AuS, o1uCu Wy thC ihIC4
state commerce law, will enable it to |
compete successfully with the capital |
for the trade of Castle and Uintah val
leys, the latter including the prosperous |
Ashley country. The establishment of |
this jobbing and retail house at Priceis,
therefore, an important commercial
event. Its policy, as plainly marked |
out, Will be to hold its field by keeping
On hand full line in each department |
Of general merchandise stock.
DEPUTY Marshal Redfeld arrived in
Price, to-day. He came for the pur-
pose OF transacting some business in
civil suit, and to subpoena number of
witnesses in the Stein murder case
which will shortly be called in the First
District Court at Provo. There is little
Or no opportunity for "deps" to get in
any of their favorite kind of work in
this section, for victims of the Edmunds
aw are few and far between in this
Cow Boy.
